Pagkratiastis is the athlet of Pagkration Athlema (Παγκράτιον Άθλημα). The word pagkration it is a complex word coming from PAN(whole) and KRATOS(power) which means all the power. The gratest Pagkratistes (plural)were Achilles, Hercules, Polydamas from Skotousa, Aias (Ajax)and many more. The physical condition of a Pagkratiasti was excellent and that is because he is ready for war. Filostratos wrote " Πάλη δε και Παγκράτιον ως ες το πρόσφορων το πολέμω εύρειται" that means wresting and pagkration were made only for war. Special forces of many countries use pagkration (in some mutation) for the training of their special forces. Nowadays original Pagkratiastes are very few and you can meet them in Greece which is the generator of Pagkration Athlema.
